This application is a continuation of and claims priority to International Patent Application No. PCT/JP2014/078621 filed on Oct. 28, 2014, which claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-14950 filed on Jan. 29, 2014, subject matter of these patent documents is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
(i) Technical Field
The present invention relates to blade driving devices and optical apparatuses.
(ii) Related Art
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2009-175365 discloses a blade driving device driving different blades by respective two actuators.
The two actuators each have a coil. These two coils are soldered to a printed circuit board. In a case where points in which the two coils are soldered to the printed circuit board are arranged over a wide range, the soldering workability might deteriorate.
Further, in soldering work, flux might be scattered from the melted solder. Thus, in the case where points in which the two coils are soldered to the printed circuit board are arranged over a wide range, the flux might be scattered over a wide range.
It is thus object of the present invention to provide a blade driving device suppressing broad scattering of flux and improving soldering workability, and an optical apparatus having the same.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a blade driving device including: a board including an opening; first and second blades opening and closing the opening; first and second actuators arranged adjacent to each other and respectively driving the first and second blades, and respectively including first and second stators, first and second rotors, and first and second coils; a printed circuit board; and solder portions electrically connecting the first and second coils with the printed circuit board; wherein the solder portions includes: first and second solder portions respectively connecting one end and another end of the first coil with the printed circuit board; and third and fourth solder portions respectively connecting one end and another end of the second coil with the printed circuit board; and the first, second, third, and fourth solder portions face one another.
The leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B each includes plural blades. Each of the leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B can shift between an overlapped state where the plural blades overlap one another and an expanded state where the plural blades are expanded. These plural blades in the overlapped state recede from the opening 11 to cause the opening 11 to be in a fully opened state. These plural blades in the expanded state close the opening 11 to cause the opening 11 to be in a fully closed state.
The leading blade 20A is connected with the arms 31a and 32a. The trailing blade 20B is connected with the arms 31b and 32b. As illustrated in
Drive members 40a and 40b drive the arms 31a and 31b, respectively. Thus, the arms 31a and 31b correspond to driven members that are driven by the drive members 40a and 40b and that drive the leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B, respectively. The drive members 40a and 40b are provided with drive pins 43a and 43b connected with the arms 31a and 31b, respectively. The boards 10, 10A, and 10B are respectively formed with escape slots 13a, 13aA, and 13aB for permitting the movement of the drive pin 43a. Likewise, they are respectively formed with escape slots 13b, 13bA, and 13bB for permitting the movement of the drive pin 43b. The drive members 40a and 40b will be described later in detail.
The board 10 is assembled with holders 80 and 90 holding the actuators 70a and 70b. The holder 80 is formed with support walls 81a and 81b that respectively support the actuators 70a and 70b. The holder 80 is secured on the board 10. The holders 80 and 90 are secured to each other. The holders 80 and 90 are made of a synthetic resin.
The actuator 70a includes: a rotor 72a rotatably supported by the holder 80; a stator 74a excited to generate magnetic force between the stator and the rotor 72a; and a coil 76a for exciting the stator 74a. The rotor 72a is fitted with an output member 50a. The output member 50a is connected with the drive member 40a. Therefore, the rotation of the rotor 72a drives the output member 50a and the drive member 40a to drive the arm 31a and the leading blade 20A. The actuator 70b has the same arrangement. The rotation of a rotor 72b of the actuator 70b rotates the drive member 40b to drive the trailing blade 20B.
The support walls 81a and 81b of the holder 80 are respectively formed with escape holes 85a and 85b. The escape hole 85a receives a connection portion where the drive member 40a and the output member 50a are connected with each other. Likewise, the escape hole 85b receives a connection portion where the drive member 40b and an output member 50b are connected with each other. The holder 80 is formed with spindle portions 87a and 87b for supporting the rotors 72a and 72b for rotation, respectively. A printed circuit board 100 is secured to outer portions of the holders 80 and 90. The printed circuit board 100 supplies the coils 76a and 76b with power. The printed circuit board 100 is a flexible printed circuit board with flexibility.
The coil 76a and 76b are respectively wound around coil bobbins 78a and 78b. The coil bobbin 78a and 78b are respectively attached to the stators 74a and 74b. The coil bobbin 78a is provided with terminal portions 78a1 and 78a2 around which one end and the other end of the coil 76a are respectively wound. Similarly, the coil bobbin 78b is provided with terminal portions 78b1 and 78b2 around which one end and the other end of the coil 76b are respectively wound. The terminal portions 78a1, 78a2, 78b1, and 78b2 face one another and extend to the holder 80 side that is, the board 10 side. The holder 80 is formed with a receiving hole 89a for receiving the terminal portions 78a1 and 78a2, and with a receiving hole 89b for receiving terminal portions 78b1 and 78b2.
The printed circuit board 100 includes: a portion 103 provided at its one end with a connector portion 101 and attached to the holder 90 side; a portion 105 attached to the side surface of the holder 80; and an inserted portion 107 inserted between the holder 80 and the board 10. On the inserted portion 107, the pattern to which the coils 76a and 76b are connected is provided. The portions 103 and 105 are an example of exposed portions exposed to the outside of the holder 80 and 90. They will be described later in detail.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
The scattering of the flux might degrade sliding property of a movable member located around the solder portion, which might cause a drive malfunction. In particular, the broad scattering of the flux might increase the possibility of the malfunction. Also, the removing of the flux requires cleaning over a wide range. In this way, the workability might deteriorate, so the production efficiency might decrease.
In the blade driving device 1 according to the present embodiment, the solder portions Sa1, Sa2, Sb1, and Sb2 are not formed at a position to sandwich the coil bobbin 78a and 78b, and are not formed at a position to sandwich the opening 11. The solder portions Sa1, Sa2, Sb1, and Sb2 closely face one another, and are arranged together in one place. Therefore, the soldering workability improves, so this suppresses the scattering of the flux over a wide range.
Further, as illustrated in
In the present embodiment, as illustrated in
Incidentally, before the holders 80 and 90 are assembled to the board 10, the actuators 70a and 70b and the printed circuit board 100 are assembled to the holders 80 and 90. After that, and the holders 80 and 90 are assembled to the board 10. Thus, it is possible to handle the holders 80 and 90 assembled with the actuators 70a and 70b and the printed circuit board 100 as a actuator unit, before the holders 80 and 90 are assembled to the board 10. At this time, as illustrated in
As illustrated in
Also, as illustrated in
Also, the size of the escape hole 85a is set so as to permit the connection between the gear portions 45a and 55a. Thus, the escape hole 85a is comparatively large. This reduces the weight of the holder 80.
Also, the gear portions 45a and 55a are connected with each other in the escape hole 85a, thereby arranging the drive member 40a and the output member 50a close to each other. This reduces the whole size of the drive member 40a and the output member 50a. Further, this reduces the total weight of the drive member 40a and the output member 50a. Thus, the blade driving device 1 is reduced in weight.
As illustrated in
The rotors 72a and 72b are arranged to sandwich the coils 76a and 76b. In other words, the rotors 72a and 72b are respectively located at both ends of the holder 80 in the movable direction of the leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B. In such a way, although the actuators 70a and 70b are adjacent to each other, the rotors 72a and 72b are spaced apart from each other. This prevents the rotors 72a and 72b from magnetically influencing each other and from influencing the driving properties of the rotors 72a and 72b. It is therefore possible to ensure the desired driving properties of the leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B.
Herein, the leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B are an example of first and second blades. The actuators 70a and 70b are an example of first and second actuators. The rotors 72a and 72b are an example of first and second rotors. The coils 76a and 76b are an example of first and second coils. The stators 74a and 74b are an example of first and second stators. The solder portions Sa1, Sa2, Sb1, and Sb2 are an example of first, second, third, and fourth solder portions, respectively.
Additionally, the actuators 70a and 70b are arranged such the longitudinal directions thereof are the same as the movable direction of the leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B. Further, the actuators 70a and 70b are arranged in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the rotors 72a and 72b are respectively arranged at both ends of the whole region of the actuators 70a and 70b in its longitudinal direction. It is therefore possible to ensure the further interval between the rotors 72a and 72b. This prevents the rotors 72a and 72b from magnetically influencing each other and from influencing the driving properties of the rotors 72a and 72b.
The drive member 40a is arranged to overlap the stator 74a and the coil 76a in the optical axis direction. Likewise, the drive member 40b is arranged to overlap the stator 74b and the coil 76b in the optical axis direction. Therefore, the size of the blade driving device is reduced in the planar direction perpendicular to the optical axis.
The axis of the rotation of the drive member 40a overlaps the stator 74a and the coil 76a, and is positionally displaced from the axis of the rotor 72a. Similarly, the axis of rotation of the drive member 40b overlaps the stator 74b and the coil 76b, and is positionally displaced from the axis of the rotor 72b.
While the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated in detail, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and other embodiments, variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In the above embodiment, the solder portions Sa1, Sa2, Sb1, and Sb2 that face the board 10 and that are located within the recess portion 80R are described as an example, but they are not limited. The solder portions Sa1, Sa2, Sb1, and Sb2 may extend to the upper surface side of the holder 90, protrude to the outside thereof, and be provided outside the holder 90. Also, they may protrude to a side surface side of the holder 80 and be provided outside the holder 80. The solder portions Sa1, Sa2, Sb1, and Sb2 face one another and are arranged together in one place, thereby improving the soldering workability and suppressing the broad scattering of the flux.
In the above embodiment, the blade driving device 1 is described as an example of the focal plane shutter in which the actuators 70a and 70b respectively drive the leading blade 20A and the trailing blade 20B, but they are not limited. As for a focal plane shutter in which biasing force of springs drives the leading blade and the trailing blade, solder portions, electrically connecting the printed circuit board with electromagnets for keeping the biasing force for the leading blade and the trailing blade, may face one another and be arranged together in one place.
